[PB-F2] Programming and Statistics in Palaeobiology
(Übung, 2 SWS, Adam Kocsis, Do, 11:00 - 12:30, Pal Bib/Seminarraum)
-
[PB-F2] Geobiology of Reefs
(Vorlesung mit Übung, 2 SWS, Danijela Dimitrijevic, Do, 9:00 - 10:30, Pal Bib/Seminarraum)
Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:
no, but the successful completion of 1. and 2. semesters of master studies, in particular the module „Analytical Palaeobiology“ is recommended
Inhalt:
a) Geobiology of reefs
The course presents the methods for studying fossil reef systems, explains geological and biological control factors of reef development, and shows the geological history of reef systems. Reef data are analysed in practical exercises involving geographic information systems (GIS).
b) Programming and statistics in palaeobiology
Modern statistical and programming knowledge is imparted using the open-source R software (www.rproject. org) and additional packages specific to individual problems. The focus is on multivariate methods (cluster analysis, correspondence analysis, multiple regression).
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
the students are able to:
name methods for studying fossil reef systems
describe and explain geological and biological control factors over reef development
present the history of reef systems
evaluate reef data in practice using GIS
work independently with open-source R Software and topic-specific additional packages, and apply them to current paleobiological problems
create scripts with which palaeobiological hypotheses can be tested
